Encore Motorcars Inc Review

low pressure and has good follow through

We just purchased a 2009 BMW 535 xi wagon from Encore Motors and wanted to share they are a reputable dealer in Sarasota selling used high end autos both from their show room (which I did not use personally) and online. We live in Brainerd MN and have been searching for a hard to find BMW 5 series all wheel drive wagon when their site popped up. I googled them and did not get any warning signs so I called and got Chris Barksdale, their online manager for care sales. Chris was very helpful, low pressure and has good follow through. He immediately disclosed that the car had been in an accident but felt it was insignificant as their mechanics thoroughly checked the vehicle out. They also shared the carfax with me. I learned they usually only sell perfect cars but made an exception on this vehicle.

I asked my brother in-law who lives in Sarasota to test drive the car and had an independent mechanic inspect it as negotiations were going smoothly. Chris worked out all the logistics including transporting the wagon by truck to our door.

Bottom line, I buy almost nothing online, preferring local business and face to face interactions. However, finding the right used car locally is much more difficult and using the web opens many doors. I would not hesitate recommending Encore Motorcars of Sarasota to my family and friends.
